What gender are these silver laced wyandottes?

[SparklyCaticorn]

I am not sure about these chicken's genders. At first we thought that we had one rooster and one hen, but then the hen crowed. We looked it up and hens can crow, but I looked up pictures of silver laced wyandotte hens and neither looked like them, and both looked looked the roosters.

Both are cockerels. Upon occasion there are crowing hens, but they are generally mature/elderly birds.

I don't know what those roosters are. But roosters they are!

Welcome to BYC!

I agree, they are cockerels. You can tell by the sickle shaped hackle feathers, even though they haven't got sickle shaped tail feathers (yet). Some individual Wyandotte roosters also tend to be somewhat hen-feathered, i.e., never develop really distinct sickle shaped rooster feathers.

Thank you! Our suspicions where correct . We already had 2 roosters, so I guess we have 3 out of 13 chickens now.
